Encryption is the Backbone of Zero Trust - But Most Enterprises Are Still Behind

Today's attackers no longer need to break encryption. They exploit the gaps between encrypted zones, abuse patch delays, and move laterally through flat, unsegmented networks. 60% of cloud breaches involve lateral movement, and most organizations technically comply with encryption standards that are already outdated. Compliance is no longer a checkbox. PCI DSS 4.0, HIPAA, DORA, NIS2, and CISA ZTMM 2.0 are all tightening their requirements for network-level encryption, centralized governance, and real-time visibility. This executive brief is for CISOs who need to close the gap between what passes an audit and what actually stops a breach.

Encryption is the Backbone of Zero Trust -- But Most Enterprises Are Still Behind

What's inside the executive brief

Why TLS, MACsec, and legacy VPNs leave blind spots across regions, clouds, and hybrid environments that attackers actively exploit through lateral movement and egress paths that security teams cannot see
How PCI DSS 4.0, HIPAA, DORA, NIS2, and CISA ZTMM 2.0 are raising the bar beyond endpoint encryption to require network-layer enforcement, centralized key governance, and real-time encryption posture visibility
How Aviatrix CNSF delivers FIPS 140-2 validated IPSec encryption at 10 to 100 Gbps line-rate performance across east-west, north-south, cloud-to-cloud, and hybrid traffic, without hardware chokepoints or performance tradeoffs
How CNSF complements existing identity, EDR, and SIEM tools by securing the network data plane itself, where visibility and enforcement currently break down
